In
a column
on Tuesday,
environmental blogger Robert Scribbler noted that the Northern
Hemisphere Jet Stream had merged with the Southern Hemisphere Jet
Stream.

“It’s
the very picture of weather weirding due to climate change. Something
that would absolutely not happen in a normal world,” he wrote.
“Something, that if it continues, basically threatens seasonal
integrity.”

“Like
many extreme events resulting from human-forced climate change —
this co-mingling of upper level airs from one Hemisphere with another
is pretty fracking strange,” Scribbler explained. “Historically,
the Tropics — which produce the tallest and thickest air mass in
the world — have served as a mostly impenetrable barrier to upper
level winds moving from one Hemisphere to another. But as the Poles
have warmed due to human-forced climate change, the Hemispherical Jet
Streams have moved out of the Middle Latitudes more and more. ”

“That’s
bad news for seasonality,” he continued. “You get this
weather-destabilizing and extreme weather generating mixing of
seasons that is all part of a very difficult to deal with ‘Death of
Winter’ type scenario.”

“Our
climate system behaviour continues to behave in new and scary ways
that we have never anticipated, or seen before,” Beckwith observed.
“Welcome to climate chaos. We must declare a global climate
emergency.”

In
a YouTube video, Beckwith said that the jet stream behavior signaled
“massive hits to the food supply” and “massive geopolitical
unrest.”
